Mr. Hersch: Why would anyone have to fake Iranian provocation when we’re way past any justification of any war against them based upon their own actions and threats?

Now, if Iran's fast little boats do attack our ships and we sink them, Hersh will say it was a boat of US Navy Seals. This whole premise is much like Hitler's pretext for invading Poland, and no doubt Hersh wants us to believe that Cheney is Hitler. The whole thing is undoubtedly a fiction; we won't need a false pretext to attack Iran. We've plenty of real ones including their support for those who kill Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan, those who kill Lebanese in Lebanon, and those who kill Israelis in Israel, and finally their building of nuclear weapons and missiles to deliver them. It's sad that Hersh is such a moral dunderhead that he cannot figure out that the mad mullahs and Ahmadinejad are evil people.

Seymour Hersh as far as I'm concerned, for positing such drivel merits only the “Carlos Mencia Award for Journalistic Stupidity - The Feared 'DE-TA-DEEEEE!'”

Wait a minute - I thought Bush was Hitler.

In any case, these sort of attacks are reducing Cheney's chances of re-election to near zero.

Cheney / Bolton '08 !!

I am sure that Dick Cheney invites this piece of S**t to all of his meetings.

"...that's the level of stuff we're talking about. Provocation."

Provocation??? The U.S. received all the provocation we needed to kill at least half the Iranian population in November 1979 when the Iranians seized our embassy and held the embassy staff hostage for over a year. This was a clear act of war and if there had of been a man in the oval office instead of Jimmy Carter, the surviving Iranians would have been made to understand the error of their ways and that there are severe consequences for bad behavior. But as it is now, as soon as the Iranians achieve nuclear weapons, the entire Iranian population will probably perish in a nuclear conflagration.

Iran could possibly have been saved if we had administered proper punishment back in November 1979.

My father subscribed to the New Yorker for most of his life and I looked forward seeing the cartoons each week. I haven’t seen a New Yorker in years. I ran across a June issue of the New Yorker in the vet’s office yesterday and I was amazed and pleased to see how thin the magazine has become. Years ago it was a high revenue ad producer and now no ads and no readers. Just a leftie rant now.

Now I am certain Cheney called up old Seymour and told him his plans. Makes perfect sense to me.

My inside sources say that Hersh’s exposé will provoke a savage scalping within the administration of the United States at this critical time. Exactly who was Hersh’s source who leaked this information? Seeds of disloyalty effectively planted, Cheney’s people will now demand answers as grave mistrust invades each frightened suspicious soul. They will shift their interpersonal war dance to a distance wiggling and slithering themselves away from one another. Odorous internal intrigues naturally follow insult and dishonor. Thus, the public interest and the national security is enfeebled again as self interest and job trauma take precedence. This common tactic exists on all levels of high school and high politics. It is as demonic and subtle as Mr. Hersh sitting cross-legged in front of a closed basket wearing a turban and playing a flute. Exposés on this level are insidiously destructive resulting in Three Stooge stumblings from grace and a frenetic roach race away from the light toward the outer darkness —a colorful set to behold. The greedy lust for treachery (among certain writers) derives its greatest rush from betraying chiefs; even whole nations. Some say that Hersh’s My Lai Massacre exposé served as a decoy which prevented the sheeple from seeing what was actually beneath the psychology, bureaucracy, and technology of genocide. The cinch around Mr. Cheney’s political snout has just become tighter. [cf.: “The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide” Robert Jay Lifton, New York: Basic Books Inc.]

What a moron. That is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard. More like an Idea someone like Obambi would come up with.

Exactly

BREAKING... Hirsh now says that Cheney posited this plan only after an earlier plan for the Gao'uld to attack Iran failed to materialize after Apophis changed his mind...

...Hersh exposed that the meeting witnessed Cheney mulling over a proposal to dress up Navy SEALs as Iranians and shoot them in order to trigger a war with Iran.

Mr. Hersh. The Vice President's office called and invited you to cover a hunting trip.
